Here's what I would do.
template isArray(T) { const isArray=false; }
template isArray(T: T[]) { const isArray=true; }
Beware though, this was not extensively tested. From what I can see, it _should_ work, and also does in simple test cases, but that's no guarantee.
Use it like "[static] if (isArray!(Type)) { do stuff here } "

Thanks, rather ingenious.
